NON-EQuilibrium Self-Assembly (NON-EQ-SA)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

"Living systems operate in a far-from-equilibrium state: they need to eat, drink, and breathe to power the continuous chemical processes occurring in each of their cells, in order to stay alive. When the supply of food or nutrients is stopped the living systems relax to their thermodynamic equilibrium state, that is, death. So far, scientists (and chemists in particular) have managed to make synt ...

MOTOrcycle Rider Integrated SafeTy (MOTORIST)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2018,

Powered Two Wheelers (PTWs) are an efficient and flexible transport system and their use is beneficial especially in the more and more congested European cities. Unfortunately the PTW riders are exposed to a high risk of becoming a victim in a crash mainly due to the difficulty to control a PTW under all circumstances but also due to limited conspicuity. In addition when PTW riders are crash victi ...
